Originally my answer would have been yes. But I now read books without skipping. The reason why I have changed is I would feel so guilty that I would have to go back and the read the book from the very beginning again, which meant that I was taking longer to finish books.

Um... yes and no for me. After trying not to skim, but not being willing to quit, either, skimming seems a better option. SINCE my purpose is to enjoy reading, of course. My BTT: http://burgandyice.blogspot.com/2012/01/booking-through-thursday.html

I never feel guilty about skipping, though I don't do it nearly as often as I used to. I always skip parts I know are boring in re-reads. In new books if I do skip it's usually only just a paragraph or two that end up being just descriptive.
